Your entire point is that kids sometimes do what they are not supposed to do? Why even mention something so obvious? 

my entire point in that single post in response to Bill which was specifically about how "libraries are the one place..." was that libraries are not as locked down as he stated.

it is a response to Bill's point about libraries and that is all it is. my goodness has no one used an internet forum before? must every post relate directly to the OP?

No. But what exactly is your point? That we shouldn’t have rules because people find their way around them?

What if you do have a problem with one race only buying toys  for their race regardless of race

Then you might want to find a new hobby… I kid I kid…😉

 

But in all seriousness, and kidding aside, i recognize people will view this issue differently (and at first, I wasn’t sure how I felt about it, if I’m being honest)…

 

I had always just grown accustomed to minorities doing something like this, and accepting it as that’s just the way it was..Also, you don’t normally see white people do something like this- or it’s at least not publicly promoted…

 

What won me over was the language used in promotion of the event…It was pretty much the same language we hear other groups (who claim oppression) using…

 

So, then the logical side of my brain kicked on and said “well wait a minute…if it’s ok for other groups to do it, it MUST be allowed for this group as well, for true equality to exist in this circumstance”…

 

I see commercials all the time, specifically dedicated in helping black business owners…it I used to piss me off- I thought, why can’t they just make a commercial helping ALL business owners? Why does it have to be racial? it’s so divisive…

 

So, then the logical conclusion to that is that If white people wanted to do the same, but specifically helping white business owners, we would have to allow it…I don’t like it, but this is why identity politics is so toxic…this is where it has brought us to…The road to ruin is paved with good intentions…

 

So, I hear where you are coming from, and part of me is there with you…But the way I view it is, we either allow it for ALL groups, or we disallow it for ALL groups…And because we can’t force people NOT to do this, we must be ok with everyone engaging in it…

 

I don’t like identity politics- never have, never will…But what’s good for the goose, is good for the gander in a free and fair society…👍

i doubt that, actually. kids are pretty resourceful. depends on the IT person at the library.

 

Right, just as a kid in 1985 could sneak the centerfold from Hustler into the middle of the X volume of the encyclopedia.

 

The difference between the 1985 Hustler centerfold, the modern day kid who outwits the IT porn walls at his school, and school administrators choosing to make pornographic books available to kids is pretty obvious.

 

But you already knew that.

 

If you didn't, then I invite you to walk down to your local park...whisper to the closest 7 year to come over, and then show him or her some porn on your phone and wait to see what happens.
